Oh No, Not Again!


If you are tired of looking a my mittens, imagine how tired I am of making them. After starting this mitten craft with sweaters from the Goodwill store, I quickly realized I had a whole lot of wool and needed to make something else. So, I started making Christmas stockings. I made 13 of them and they are completely made and complete. Mittens? I am still fussing around with them. Some (read most) still need an edging around the bottom and I am trying to add edging while keeping the mittens stretchable. A harder task than you might think.
I went to a card class in Nashville In a few weeks ago taught by Michelle Zindorf. she uses brayers on her cards and they are quite different from what you would usually find. I thought I would show you what I made, but I can't find my cards. That is the story of my life right now. I am not very well organized and I try to keep things picked up. So, I pick up things and put them away, then forget where I put them *sigh*
I need the holidays to be over so I can do a good cleaning around here. You know, tidy up the craft stuff, toss out scraps I don't need and get everything squared away. Of course, I don't want to wish the holidays away before they are even here. Maybe Santa will bring me some organization skills this year.

I do love me my mittens, Judy! And you're a lot more organized than I am... so if Santa brings you organization skills, maybe he can bring me some, too. ;-)

Aaron has a cheeseball with your name on it.... ;-)

Looking forward to seeing those new cards you made with the brayer when you find them!

Hey, did you get the set of clay tools and cuts I had? I would like to borrow them if you did. Of course just when I thought I wouldn't ever use them, I would like to use them. Let me know!

LOVE what you've done with the mittens! But even stranger - I have that EXACT same red sweater from my own Goodwill store that I've felted and was going to make into a craft as well! How weird! :)
